In celebrating 250 years of the United States of America, Progressive Dairy asked our advertisers that manufacture dairy equipment in the U.S. what Made in America means to them. Here’s what they had to say.

Taking advantage of the mutual benefits that cattle and crop production have can lead to more profits and a sustainable farming operation.

When drought forces tough decisions or expanding herds find themselves without pasture availability, drylotting beef cows may be an option to consider.

While cost is the primary factor, there are several reasons to choose buying hay or growing it.

With poor profitability projections on most row-crop budgets, planting summer annual forages and using forage mixes for grazing should be considered on marginal acres.

Turning cows out on immature forages can have long-reaching consequences, including permanent damage to grass stands, high risk of grass tetany and a need for supplementation to fill nutritional gaps.
